Saw the movie and it did nothing for me.

When you look at the time during a movie you know you wasted your money.

Boy, was I disappointed in this movie.

The movie was not all that great! The book is much better....

Cheers,

Not true. Say Lord of the rings, Harry potter, etc..

A work colleague, who had read the book, wasn't so impressed.

The movie may have sucked because of Tom Hanks wierd hairdo.

Actually, I liked Tom's hair in the movie, I dont' see why they made a deal about his hair?

I can't WAIT to see how they do this one, since a whole lot of the book goes into flashbacks of Langdon teaching class or Sophie remembering her childhood.

But I did watch the movie, and must say I did enjoy it. Can't recall having any regrets while I was in the theatre. May have felt differently if I read the book though.

THE DA VINCI CODE:
Compound number: 18
Single number: 9

Perhaps they explain the book's phenomenal best-selling?

I only came across it a couple of months ago. Couldn's resist the temptation and had a look at the first few pages of it at the bookshop. Thought the writing was dodgy. But somehow everytime I stopped by the bookshop I would read it on. Eventually I decided that I wanted to read the entire story and finish it right before the film premiered (I had apprx. two weeks left).

I finished 'Code' within 11 days. There must be some kind of magic (black magic, I even suspect) in that novel which makes it so very intriguing to me, and obviously, to many others. The movie was a huge disappointment- I had been expecting it to be better than the book, but it turned out to be even worse.

The book was very easy-to-read, and many people fell in love with it...doesn't make sense, must be magic. The flick- Ron Howard's worst ever.

I couldn't put down Dan Brown's other 3 books either, especially Angels & Demons -- there were a LOT of late nights that year

Hope you can sink your teeth into the story, choppy chapters or nay, CG!

Leonardo always attracts attention..he is the real draw. Big picture of Mona Lisa on the poster and only a few seconds of her in the movie... Way too much was left out of the movie...even the end was different, as Sophies brother is found in the book... but seen on its own the plot still makes sense... just disappointing.

Definitlely needed more Leonardo and art and creative iconography of painters thrown in. That in itself is a fascinating subject. Cant help it had to study art history in university and it is mind boggling what went on in the art world.
